Its surprising how not a single gaming chair out there has bothered to try and make the chair ergonomics or adjustable in any way. They're all just bucket seats with a different skin for outrageous prices. Dont bother with this and get an ergonomic chair instead. They may not look as gamer-y but you'll actually be comfortable in them.
Seriously... My refurbished Steelcase Leap is amazing and costs like $440 with tons of adjustability. Who would spend $800 for this junk that's uncomfortable for everyone but maybe the 1% of bodies who match the designers? You can easily get Aerons for less than $800. Other than rich teenage boys who find the spine thing cool and don't have aching joints yet, lol, who's their market?
Gamers Nexus did a nice video on the gaming chair market a while back. This chair and other just keep confirming that video xD Honestly, overpriced crap that won't even last that long when it's already broken when it arrives lol haha
They just slap racing seats on everything and the problem with racing seats is the have to properly conform to your body to be mildly comfortable but there designed to prevent injury Incase a car rolls over....not comfort
For that price i'd at least want the spine to be functional. It was the perfect opportunity to have a fully adjustable chair where the sections could be individually adjusted using joints in the spine.
Whos to say that it doesn't, I mean the one guy complained about the upper pillow and they both mentioned the hole in the back. Soooo why not remove the upper pillow and put the cover back in the back? I need to see a real in depth review with someone who can put it together and try all the features. Just a thought.
Ergonomic chair had already been made and perfected. All gaming chair can add is aesthetic, and man that went out fast in a few years. Just buy a well known ergonomic chair. Your ass and spine well thank you for years to come.
@@mafiahalo93 It depends. In my workplace, the office chairs are not from some famous brands, but I can recognize the elements it "borrow" from Aeron chair. More precisely speaking, a copy of Aeron chair with cost down mechanism. In that case, Yes, office chair may be the best choice. Because it has all the wheels ergonomic chair already invented. But many office chair are just as bad as gaming chair in ergonomics. The same principle may apply on gaming chair, but somehow gaming chair refused to adopt those design.
@@jyunnheikusada7003 well if you have an office depot store or staple office store near you they have those kind of chairs on display and you can test them out and sit in them to see how it fits and what not or just give it a try and I'm not gonna lie i have fallen asleep in it a few times and woke up the next morning still in the chair wondering how the hell i got here LOL. plus the chair i mention comes with a 10 year warranty and can support up to 400LB though i weight around 320-330LB which is kinda close to a lot of gaming chair max weight which is around 300LB to 350LB
I do love that spine design. Dope. That being said: 800 bucks is insane. And that chair is waaaaay to bulky. There's no way I'd sacrifice that much room space just for a chair. But I do like that spine. A lot.
I spent $400 10 years ago on a la-z-boy executive chair from staples which has been the most comfortable chair I have ever had, and despite weighing over 250 myself I have never had issues with the piston going flat or the cushions wearing out. It's made of steel and wood, and will probably still be perfectly serviceable long after I am gone. I can't see paying $800 for this thing unless you are REALLY into the aesthetic.
Any chair that looks like a car bucket seat will distort your back. You don't need support against G-forces. Your back needs to rest on a pole and have a great lumbar support, preferably build-in inflating cushion. Therapia and other manufacturers make chairs like that. Herman-Miller is another good brand to buy from.
If you're looking for a good "gaming" chair that's actually worth it and comfortable get an AndaSeat Kaiser 3. Usually on sale for $450 US. It has 4D armrests, magnetic cooling gel neck pillow, big cushion seat that is comfortable and slightly firm, and actual built in lumbar support. Two knobs for lumbar height and depth along with cloth or leather chair options. Also it's almost $300 dollars less than this cougar terminator. If you don't have the money for the $1200 office ergo chairs then the Kaiser 3 is the one to buy. It's got plenty of leg room for me to sit with my legs crossed on the seat or to lean and lounge in for comfort. I'm 6'0" tall 215 lbs and it's been great. If you're 5'10" or above then get the XL version of the chair. The only real difference is the gas cylinder height range. I've tried the secretlabs titan chair and while the lumbar support on that one is better the chair is an awful rock that made my butt go numb faster than a cement bench. Returned it in a week. The RS gaming devanti chair from office max is a close second for me but will need some kind of cushion for the back. Anyway I hope this helps someone so they don't mistakenly buy this $800 dollar piece of crap.
I have yet to find a single Cougar product worth spending any money on. This one being broken out of the box and truly form over function just cements my opinion.
Until gaming chair companies actually focus on ergonomics first. Just stay away from them completely. Get a good proper office chair. Also don't cheap out on a chair, get something you can see as an investment for your health. It's cheaper in the long run, over having spinal issues and back pain later in life.
For 800$ chair adjustable lumbar support should be a standard and the head pillow should be magnetic. Please don't waste your money on this chair, there are a lot of waay better and more ergonomic options for this price.
"Raise the bar for ergonomic support", uhh, where are the adjustments? Seat depth? Backrest heigh adjustment? Lumbar depth and height adjustment? Headrest adjustment? it doesn't even flex, its as stiff as my morning wood.
It seems like they could have used that spine design to be able to adjust where the lower back, shoulders, and head rest sit in relation to the person sitting in it.
so i am a bigger guy (6'2 260) that has had cronic issues from a back injury when i was 16 and i bought a Hayworth Soji. Cost me about a thousand bucks because i did get all of the features and nicer material but i can sit comfortably for about 5 hours before i need to get up and stretch/move around. Just a heads up for those that are looking.
Adding 10+ pounds of decorative vertebrae, while using cheap casters, flimsy covers on corners, and inadequate packaging, really shows their priorities: Plastic and pleather pillows.
That sign off made me feel better! I ordered a Secret Lab chair about a week ago and since then you reviewed 2 gaming chairs 😂 So happy you'd recommend them over this one 😁
Couid be nice if you would make a note on the bottom screen, when you use feet to measure.. So I don´t have to google what 5f 6" is in metric. Just to give the rest of the world a chance to know what you are saying :) Hope you will take this suggenstion in to consideration. Thx for the review.
Have you seen the recent WAN show where they talk about how Canadians don't think to covert imperial for heights or metric for longer distances because it's normal for them to be able to convert and use both systems? There's a whole flow chart for what Canadians use arbitrarily depending on the context and distance/size (being influenced by both Americans and Brits) and that's why no one on their team realizes that they ought to show the conversion for them, especially on these quick, light edited videos like SC. That is all to say... it's not like they're favoring Americans by using imperial heights. Everyone in the audience has to occasionally Google a conversion while watching LTT/Canadian content because they use both imperial and metric systems so they often forget on both sides so it is what it is.
I share the short-guy gaming life as well ... I kinda like my chair, but the desk is actually too high for me to set my chair to a height where I can also put my feet on the ground properly ... and when I don't, my knees start to hurt. I might opt for a foot-rest under the desk but for now I put my subwoofer under the desk as a foot-rest.
That chair looks absolutely SICK. But, I think the search continues for what to replace my aging Steelcase Leap with. I've just gotten used to having way too many adjustability options that these "cooler" chairs just don't have. If you're going to be sitting in a chair for 8+ hours while gaming or working from home, it NEEDS to have adjustable seat tilt/depth, adjustable lumbar, etc. Your joints will thank you.
Been looking into the Leap and HM Sayl, what would you say is the drawback of the Leap? I kept seeing people complain about the seat not being very supportive around the back is this true?
@@AbiRizky It supports my back perfectly, but for reference, I'm 6'2 and sit pushed all the way back on the seat. The lumbar support and seat positioning is quite adjustable, but maybe if you need it to push out further it could be a problem? I spent some time adjusting it perfectly to fit me, and have no complaints. The only downside in my opinion is that it's not a tall chair, so no headrest. It's only rarely a problem for me, since I hardly ever lean all the way back in the chair, but if that's how you sit, it might be a problem. You can lock the reclining or just stiffen the resistance so you really have to push to lean it back, which is perfect for me. Also, my chair is around 12 years old now, and the cushion is still comfortable to my big fat butt, and the piston has only barely started to slowly leak (I have to raise the chair back up every month or so). I'm just looking for future replacement options if this thing ever breaks.
@@Brogboolius_Maximus thanks. You're quite a bit taller than me and from what I've read the problems seem to happen for people somewhat shorter than me (I'm around 5'9ish, most complaints I read are from 5'6-5'8 tall people). So I guess I'm somewhere around the middle in terms of whether I get good support from the chair or not. Also, what about the back rest? I know the stiffness is adjustable but do you have any problems with it being too stiff/not stiff enough? Say if you push hard when it's at the stiffest setting, does it move a lot? Sorry for the questions, the Leap costs a lot of money where I live
@@AbiRizky No worries, getting recommendations online about chairs is such a mess. There are so many factors to consider, and everyone seems to prefer different things. For the back rest, it's really quite adjustable. I have it at the stiffest setting which holds me upright even with moderate pressure, but if I push back, I can get it to hold stable at all sorts of angles. For someone lighter than me (I'm a pretty heavy guy), they can just keep it at a lower stiffness and it would do the same thing. You can also lock the recline entirely at 5 different angles if you never want to go past a certain point when leaning. Fully unlocked feels like about 45° of lean. It's worth checking whether the current Leap has these features listed too, since mine is old enough now that it might be a previous model. I doubt it, but you never know.
I'll be part of the crowd that thinks the spine is hideous. Get me a GOOD chain for a 5'6 - 5'8 people with decent padding all around (including arms), that has 10% more height adjustment in either direction than standard chais and that comes in a durable leatherette or just real leather. I don't want; RGB, screaming accent colors, plastic accent parts, built in USB or w/e crap. Bonus: add individually adjustable footrest and backrest so i have sit "up right" with feet up or go at close to horizontal.
there is a reason office workers use office chairs :) We game for the same amount of time if not more sometimes. I made the move to a decent office chair years ago
Idk if I’m just noticing this now and it’s always been like this but I feel like the camera is a lot more shakey lately. It gives me almost a “Cloverfield” feeling. Has something changed?
See, what kills me about this product is if you want a chair that can suspport and keep you cool, a basic-bitch office chair can do you heaps better. Colin Chapman said it best; _Simplify, then add lightness._ No gaming chair is simple, and it's a damn shame.
Welp,I'm sold 👌 just bought a cheap 2nd hand Jasmine for the sake of shenanigans. I think I've discovered some worthy shenaniganry here. Wish me luck doing this with none of the tools in the video lol 💪
This chair was already around when I bought a chair the last time in 2021. Could be older than that as well, unless they've done some small "refresh" without changing the name or looks.
dang and to think I just built my new used gaming chair .. 2002 Buick Century pass seat, and old base :) gonna be the jankiest racing sim seat ever lol
this chair looks so cool, I want to try it out before I buy it but from what I do see is that I wish the two segments could be independently adjusted like other ergonomic chairs
Comfort in a chair literally is the single most important trait IMO. Most of these gaming chairs are made with moderate ergonomics and loads of aesthetic value but minimum comfort that is geared to a niece market. Don't think for a sec that the vast majority are not just a huge gimmick even the grossly overlooked Secret lab Omega fills like I'm setting on a rock. The Titan in the fabric version would probably be OK, given you have a sit-stand desk but will not work for long hours. The few that are really good will cost at least 700 to 800 like Herman Miller's Vantum or anything else and you will likely just get a moderate amount of comfort. Mavix might be OK, and of course, Herman millers Aeron is going to be really good.
10:13 is my honest inital reaction to booting up doom for the first time. Bethesda, your main demographic is basement-dwellers, vamires, and other creatures of the night; an all white splash screen is a cruel prank.
love watching Colton go full dad assembling furniture, reminds me that ltt people are not all perfectly handy and struggle with ikea furniture like the rest of us
Maybe it's just me, but the first thing I thought of when I saw the name "cougar terminator" is that it would be the perfect nickname for someone who's really into milfs.
Why can't some chair manufacturer just use car seats as a base (we already know that the seat pan for car seats are made for 8-12 hours of continuous sitting for years on end without losing cushion)? Of course it will need to be further engineering and tweaking (otherwise it'd be unbalanced and risk tipping over regularly) and redesigning the adjustments for office use, etc... But the base foundation of a front car seat would be ideal for a comfortable *and* durable gaming throne.

I know, that's what I thought it was able to do at first glance, what a let down.
For that price, it better adjust your spine as well.
I am halfway through the video, I thought that was the whole point of this thing...
Whos to say that it doesn't, I mean the one guy complained about the upper pillow and they both mentioned the hole in the back. Soooo why not remove the upper pillow and put the cover back in the back? I need to see a real in depth review with someone who can put it together and try all the features. Just a thought.
Let's spend years and hours of CAD and design work making a sick looking chair!...O, we want pillows...just janky strap them on.
When your new ergonomic chair needs lumbar pillows - you probably missed something in R&D.
Pretty sure minimal R&D is ever done on these chairs. It's all marketing bs and slapping cheap plastic on the outside to make it look fancier.
What??? Two doses of Colton doing chair reviews IN ONE WEEK??? I feel special 😂
Fr
We share a body type, his reviews are relevant to my interests.
Only because the other guy cut his hand open unboxing the previous chair. This gnome guy had to stand in.
Ikr, it’s crazy they’re letting a guy who doesn’t work for LMG have so much screen time on an LMG channel
Thanks for a straight up unbiased take on the chair . This kind of review goes a long way in my book
For $800 USD, the pillows should be magnetic.
the whole chair should magnetically float my fatass for that price lol
Slap Gaming and immediately increase the price by 600$. 250$ max
for 800 i'm gonna invent magic and float myself
For 800 dollars it should come with a 4070 as well.
Magnetic pillow should definitely become a standard in these high price chairs.
Chairs that don't require the stupid pillows should be standard!
high price chairs shouldn't even need tacky pillows to feel comfortable imo

Ah the truth comes out! The real reason Linus never fired Colton; Colton is the only dude at LMG shorter than he is!
Welp,I'm sold 👌 just bought a cheap 2nd hand Jasmine for the sake of shenanigans. I think I've discovered some worthy shenaniganry here.
Wish me luck doing this with none of the tools in the video lol 💪
what are the floor standing speakers in this set?
Good question, I tried with screenshot and reverse image search but could not find anything.
What are those white speakers in the background?
Are we blessed with 2 Colton videos this week??
The spine definitely look like a Crysis nanosuit
used herman miller aeron best chair. I thought I would hate it but I LOVE it.
This chair was already around when I bought a chair the last time in 2021. Could be older than that as well, unless they've done some small "refresh" without changing the name or looks.
dang and to think I just built my new used gaming chair .. 2002 Buick Century pass seat, and old base :) gonna be the jankiest racing sim seat ever lol
My cougar is pretty comfortable too, especially when she's in a good mood :)
this chair looks so cool, I want to try it out before I buy it but from what I do see is that I wish the two segments could be independently adjusted like other ergonomic chairs
Embody >
Comfort in a chair literally is the single most important trait IMO. Most of these gaming chairs are made with moderate ergonomics and loads of aesthetic value but minimum comfort that is geared to a niece market. Don't think for a sec that the vast majority are not just a huge gimmick even the grossly overlooked Secret lab Omega fills like I'm setting on a rock. The Titan in the fabric version would probably be OK, given you have a sit-stand desk but will not work for long hours. The few that are really good will cost at least 700 to 800 like Herman Miller's Vantum or anything else and you will likely just get a moderate amount of comfort. Mavix might be OK, and of course, Herman millers Aeron is going to be really good.

10:13 is my honest inital reaction to booting up doom for the first time.
Bethesda, your main demographic is basement-dwellers, vamires, and other creatures of the night; an all white splash screen is a cruel prank.
love watching Colton go full dad assembling furniture, reminds me that ltt people are not all perfectly handy and struggle with ikea furniture like the rest of us
Maybe it's just me, but the first thing I thought of when I saw the name "cougar terminator" is that it would be the perfect nickname for someone who's really into milfs.
Or a serial killer lol
This chair isn't for lumbar support, it IS the lumbar itself.
Now this is what you call a true gaming chair diff!
wish they would put the armrests further back, so you can move all the way in to edge of table and use them as support for your underarm/elbows ^^
love how it has a lumbar pillow when it's a freaking spinal design. what about just making that functional
I remember the Cougar ITX Case, it was great.
So in other words, calling Colton "I'm Fired Again!" Potter 5'6 is being chair-itable?
He looks like a tiny child holding normal sized instructions 😂
what are those speakers in the background that look like portal turrets?
Imagine living alone and one of these chairs or another gaming chair shows up and its like "Requires 2 for assembly" like bro wtf
All I take awayfrom this video is that hoffman has the calves I can never hope to get
they should've put "full spectrum" in bold & all caps lmao
Bell kept correcting Colton to call him a co-worker, but he is also wrong since Colton was fired he is not his co-worker anymore
I like the wide angle shots were Colton seems to be even smaller :D
DarkviperAU might need the couger terminator
that piece of paper with the instructions is actually normal size. Colton is just that small
as someone who love cyberpunk aesthetics....i love the look of this chair and I would buy one...if I could afford it
Colton you should of just sat on an ltt pillow
Why can't some chair manufacturer just use car seats as a base (we already know that the seat pan for car seats are made for 8-12 hours of continuous sitting for years on end without losing cushion)? Of course it will need to be further engineering and tweaking (otherwise it'd be unbalanced and risk tipping over regularly) and redesigning the adjustments for office use, etc... But the base foundation of a front car seat would be ideal for a comfortable *and* durable gaming throne.
Colton been killing it in these assembly videos.
That broken plastic cover flopping around like a wet noodle makes this something i would not even think of buying
Finally a chair for tall people's
I love how the forward slanted shoulder padding forces you into an uncomfortable position.
and after 3 monthsthe strut will blow out liek EVERY single gaming chair on the market
My office chair out preform all your chairs. 😅
